According to the Cambridge and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, a person who takes power by force and rules with total authority is a dictator. A dictator is not elected by the people, and extends his powers into the private lives of the people. He usually enjoys a cult of personality throughout the nation.

- if this ruler came to power through elections which he rigged, and simply rules without any political opposition, it is an autocrat.
